Seriously not safe for work. This post features content of a dirty, big rubber penis I found alongside of the road. I hope you consider this fair warning.

Do you ever read something and just find your face stuck like this ? Yeah, so I read a woman’s blog entry recently that just made one eye squinch up, while the other bugged out, and my mouth perhaps went “wha’ th’…you have got to be kidding me…the hell you say…” and maybe something incoherent […]

One of my nerdtastical quirks is that whenever I make or acquire some new clothes, I like to try them on with a bunch of my existing wardrobe to see how well they integrate. Over the course of several years, I have worked toward a wardrobe wherein the majority of components are interchangeable. I am […]

I pass by this church every morning on my way to work, and every morning, I get a wee case of the grumpies from this: The first half zillion times I passed by it, I just thought, “oh, a phone box. You don’t see many of those around anymore. Darn convenient when you do need […]

Oh but he was! The trauma of his annual trip to the veterinarian for his vaccination boosters brought out Griswald’s inner Mr. Humphries (or Niles Crane, depending on your decade and side of the pond). His histrionics are impressive, if you don’t have to share the cab of a pickup with his yowling, howling, frenzied […]

Last Saturday, I got invited to an exorcism at a liquor store. Well, the exorcism wasn’t at the liquor store; I was at the liquor store when the invitation was extended to me. The exorcism, supposedly, was to take place in this new church in an old warehouse in the West Bottoms. It is a […]

I’ve been having the devil of a time finding a “safe” place to park my bike at my current job. My first two parking spots were awkward and/or obstructive, so finally one of the secretaries secured permission for me to park my bike in a storage room (the one I now nap in during my […]

Sometimes, I think I go out of my own way to annoy myself. This is called being a masochist, and there’s no good excuse for it other than maybe I’m not so right in my headmeats. Anyway, I went to a friend’s show at the Honeytree Gallery on First Friday (this past Friday), and that […]

So, what I’m really looking for is a battery powered picture frame that will make the sound of a toilet flushing when you push a button or pull a lever. Ideally, it would accommodate an A4 sized sheet of paper. Can you believe this thing is for real? Or that I, in actual fact, “earned” […]

I was in a colossally bad mood yesterday after having to work on my day off, plus learning that I didn’t get the promotion I’d applied for (one which would have gotten me off the phone lines and allowed me to wear ear-protectors at work and not have to listen to my co-workers gabbling at […]
